Steelers Come to Town: Lions’ Season on the Line & the Defense Under the Microscope

The Detroit Lions welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers to Ford Field in a game that could define the rest of the season.

Detroit must win all three remaining games to have a real shot at the playoffs — and that puts the spotlight squarely on a defense that has struggled at the worst possible time.

In this episode, Joe Chapp breaks down:

• Kelvin Sheppard’s comments and why they don’t match the numbers

• The worst run-defense performance since 2003

• Why Pittsburgh’s offense is statistically vulnerable

• Key matchup advantages for Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jameson Williams

• Why this game is bigger than just Week 15 — it’s about whether the Lions can fix what’s broken

The offense has done its job. Now the defense has to prove it belongs.
